If you decided not to upgrade to the latest iPhone, you can still enjoy certain perks in life. When you have an older model, the accessories often drop in price after a new model arrives. Right now the Cult of Mac Store offers a flash sale in which all SwitchEasy iPhone 11 cases are just $8.99.
And it’s not just iPhone 11 cases. For the same low price, you can grab a nifty little wall charger and a sleek glass screen protector (see below).
When you see people online showing off their computer setups with dual displays, you often see side-by-side horizontal monitors (landscape mode). Sometimes you see a horizontal screen and a vertical one (portrait mode). And sometimes you see stacked displays, with one landscape-oriented monitor mounted on top of another.
Sometimes you see the stack because of space issues, where there’s simply no room to either side of the setup. Other times you see a stack when someone wants to run four or five displays. And there are cases where the user couldn’t get one monitor to work in portrait mode, so they had to have both screens in landscape mode.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic spurred people to buy essential items in bulk, savvy shoppers always knew that buying items wholesale is definitely the best way to get the most bang for your buck. This Sam’s Club membership gives you exclusive access to premium groceries and goods for less than $20 for a whole year of access. And for a limited time, when you sign up, you’ll get a free rotisserie chicken and cupcakes (so consider your next meal accounted for).
Apple will finally ditch the MacBook Pro’s controversial Touch Bar and replace it with a row of full-size function keys when it unveils its big refresh later today, according to a new report based on leaked schematics for the new device.
Apple first brought the Touch Bar to MacBook Pro in 2016, and despite it being a neat idea, it never really took off among power users or app developers. It seems most MacBook Pro owners try their best to ignore its existence.
New Apple “M1 Max” and “M1 Pro” chips have appeared for the first time ahead of today’s big “Unleashed” event, which is expected to bring big Mac upgrades. It’s not yet clear if these will be their final names, however.
Recent rumors suggested at least one of Apple’s next-generation chips, expected to debut inside a new MacBook Pro and possibly other machines that Apple will announce later today, will go by the name “M1X.”

But that’s just the start. We could see the debut of two more models, all powered by a new Apple M-series processor.
Here are the computers that leaks and rumors say are coming. But we could always be surprised. Again.
People around the world are receiving their new Apple Watch Series 7, and every single one of them includes a band whether the buyer wants it or not.

At a time when Apple says it’s trying to fight waste, it really should offer the Apple Watch without requiring a new band.

I’ve always had an iPad mini around the house, ever since the first generation. And I’ve always treated it very differently than any other iPad.
With the all-new sixth-gen iPad mini, Apple modernized and pushed the tiny tablet forward in a number of ways. But even in following the design trend of the iPad Pro and iPad Air before it, that doesn’t make it any less niche. And that’s part of what makes it so great.
